VEGAS Pro

What works

Most features work just as it should. Loading projects and rendering work like a charm albeit slow due to the lack of GPU acceleration. It is recommended to make a seperate Wine prefix with the 32 bit architecture and install Vegas with its required components from there.

What does not

Net Framework 3.5 download does not work when its downloaded through Vegas.

Creating file I/O manager crashes the app during launch.

GPU acceleration, meaning previewing projects/clips or rendering will be significantly slower. When rendering with GPU, it gives an error.

Workarounds

Before installation, use winetricks to install dotnet35 and dotnet35sp1 as the one downloaded from Vegas is corrupt.

After that, delete "FileIOSurrogate.exe" and its .dll file located in "Program Files/Sony/Vegas Pro 11.0/" as Vegas will just crash with them

Before rendering, make sure to edit one of the templates and choose Render with CPU only, otherwise it will throw an error instead of rendering.

What was not tested

Video capture, rendering with formats other than .mp4

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
